Sakuragi Hanamichi is back on the field at this time, is there any hope of winning?

No one believed that the Xiangbei team could still win, the main player Akagi Tsuyoshi had been lost, and Mitsui Shou and others were also confused.

At this time, there are only two people who still believe that they can win, Coach Anzai and Hanamichi Sakuragi.

Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped onto the table of the judges on the sidelines and shouted to the audience: "I will definitely hit the king of the mountain, this is the prophecy of my genius Sakuragi." ”

Amid the laughter of the live audience, the game continued.

Sakuragi Hanamichi scored a basket, and the score became 38-60, and the Xiangbei team finally got the first point since the start of the second half.

After that, Sakuragi Hanamichi played bravely, scoring one after another and completely controlling the rebound.

The morale of the Xiangbei team was greatly boosted.

After that, Jun Uozumi, who was watching the game from the stands, saw Akagi lost and came to the side of the game, awakening the lost Akagi Goken, "It's no problem to give you the position of chief center, but the dream of dominating the country can't be allowed." ”

The Xiangbei team fought to catch up, Mitsui Shou, who was close to collapse in physical fitness, scored three-pointers, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Akagi Goken scored one after another, and Miyagi Ryota also regained his self-confidence.

The score became 55-63, only 8 points away, and the audience was in an uproar.

Just when all the book fans were excited, looking forward to Xiangbei further narrowing the score gap, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Eiji Sawakita, the No. 1 high school student in the country, the No. 1 ace of Sanno Industries, was stimulated to fight and began to show super personal ability to help the Sanno Industries team open the score again.

When there were 5 minutes left, the score was 55-73, and Xiangbei was once again in a desperate situation.

Rukawa Kaede was also completely at a disadvantage in the contest with Eiji Zebei, but Rukawa Kaede at this time suddenly laughed.

In the battle with Eiji Sawakita just now, he finally understood that the reason why Coach Anzai said that he was not as good as Akira Sendo was that he fully cooperated with his teammates.

He no longer just shoots and scores, he began to give the opportunity to score to his teammates with better chances, and he worked more closely with his teammates.

The Xiangbei team chased the score close again, with 2 minutes and 50 seconds left, and the score was 66-74, still 8 points away.

After that, Sakuragi Hanamichi slammed into the table on the sidelines for saving a ball. Everyone at the scene thought that Sakuragi Hanamichi must have been injured and couldn't stand up, but the iron man Sakuragi quickly stood up.

However, even though Sakuragi quickly stood up and was still alive, his spine was still injured, but he didn't say anything and had no intention of ending.

Sakuragi Hanamichi fought hard to save the ball with his injury this time, which made the head coach of Sanno Industries, Kishimoto, palpitate, "Xiangbei, how many times will it take for you to give up?"

Give up? The Xiangbei team thought about failure and wanted to start over, but they had no idea of giving up.

The injured Sakuragi Hanamichi, after jumping high again to grab the rebound, suddenly felt pain in his spine and became a little unfocused.

But Kaede Rukawa hit a beautiful 3-pointer to make the score 69-74 with 1:59 left on the clock.

Although Sanno Industries still has a five-point lead, they have already felt the crisis and asked for a timeout.

After the restart, Sanno Industries' center Masashi Kawada scored a goal with 1 minute and 20 seconds left, and the score was 69-76.

And at this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi finally couldn't hold on to the game anymore and was substituted.

Lying on the sidelines, Sakuragi Hanamichi remained motionless, and his mind was full of images of himself in the months since he joined the basketball team.

He said to Haruko Akagi at the beginning that he liked basketball very much, but that was false, not only did he not like basketball, but on the contrary, he hated basketball.

His motives for joining basketball were "purely bad" and were all for Haruko Akagi.

But now......

Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly stood up, walked in front of Haruko Akagi on the sidelines, and said, "I like it very much, this time it's definitely not a lie." ”

He's talking about basketball, and he's completely in love with it.

Subsequently, Sakuragi Hanamichi wanted Coach Anzai to replace him in the game, but Coach Anzai refused.

Because, if Sakuragi Hanamichi forcibly insists on playing, it may cause more damage to the body and even affect the future basketball career.

Hanamichi Sakuragi is an unborn basketball genius, and Coach Anzai wants to see Sakuragi improve little by little.

So, he turned down Sakuragi's request to play, even if it was a loss to Sanno Industries.

But Sakuragi Hanamichi stood on the sidelines and said very firmly: "Dad, when was your most glorious time? ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi is determined to play.

At this time, Rukawa Kaede on the field deliberately pushed people to foul in order to allow the sidelines to complete the substitution.

He knows Sakuragi Hanamichi best.

Sakuragi Hanamichi rejoined, and the audience chanted Sakuragi Hanamichi's name.

"Let's do it to your heart's content!"

"Redhead boy, we're waiting for you!"

The sound of cheering for the Xiangbei team on the scene also surpassed the sound of cheering for the Sanwang Industrial Team for the first time.

Many people who cheered for the Sanno Industrial Team before have now changed to cheer for the Xiangbei Team.

With 57.4 seconds left, the score was 71-76.

The injured Sakuragi Hanamichi jumped high again and blocked the shot of the big man Mikio Kawada, and the Xiangbei team counterattacked, Mitsui Shou scored a 3-pointer, and also got a chance to add a free throw.

Mitsui scored a free throw to make it 75-76 with 49.1 seconds left.

The Sanno Industrial Team attacked, and as long as the Xiangbei team held this goal, it would have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

The whole audience dared to "defend to the death!", and all the members of the Hainan team "Desperately defend it!"

Akagi Goken and Sakuragi Hanamichi blocked the shots of Masashi Kawada and Eiji Sawaki respectively, and the Xiangbei team won the ball and launched a counterattack.

Rukawa Kaede receives a pass from Sakuragi Hanamichi and shoots to score.

With 24.1 seconds left, the Xiangbei team overtook the score 77-76 and fell into a frenzy.

However, the game was not over yet, Sanno Industries attacked, Eiji Sawakita scored a basket, and Sanno Industries led 78-77 again, with 9.4 seconds left.

The Xiangbei team serves and attacks, this is the last chance for Xiangbei.

Rukawa Kaede got the ball, jumped up under the basket and was about to shoot, but was tightly blocked by the other two, and his afterglow saw Sakuragi Hanamichi standing under the basket, making a movement to catch the ball with both hands, and decisively passed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi with 2 seconds left.

Sakuragi Hanamichi catches and shoots, and under the gaze of everyone in the court, the basketball draws a beautiful arc and accurately falls into the basket, and the rest of the time just becomes 0 minutes and 0 seconds.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's whistle score set the score at 79-78.

The Xiangbei team miraculously defeated the strongest team, the Sanno Industrial Team.

All the members of the Xiangbei team fell into a carnival, and the audience also shouted wildly.

The Sanno Industrial Team is lonely, but this does not mean that they are no longer kings, they are still the strongest team.

They should be grateful to the Xiangbei team, as head coach Kishimoto said, "Today's failure will become tomorrow's precious asset." ”

Today's defeat will make them stronger.

Of course, the Xiangbei team will also become stronger.

The Xiangbei team defeated the strongest team, but did not win the national championship.

Due to the excessive consumption in the match against the Sanno Industries, Sakuragi Hanamichi suffered a spinal injury.

They were eliminated from the tournament in the third round with a big loss against Aihe Academy, ending their trip to the national tournament.

The results are a bit regrettable, but not imperfect.
